Jim,

We've spent the last couple of days analyizing how the Node interface will fit into Zope. We
drafted our priliminary observations in the attached file. This file points out a lot of small issues
that we missed while in VA. This file is still in pretty rough format. We plan on cleaning it up
and using it as and interface/developers guide to DOM in Zope.

We only broke out Node because one of our big outstanding issues is how to split DOM
functionailty between core ZOPE and the XML extension.

Another big issue is we are currently researching is whether to split the 4DOM source tree, or
abstract the needed changes for Zope into a seperate base class. The issues are performance
vs. maintainability and we should have results from these tests before the weekend is up.

Can we schedule a conference call for early next week to go over these issues. I imagine we
can work them out in 1-2 hours. Tuesday afternoon is good for us.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best.
Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser,
but the design needs a
standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it.
Just so you know ;)
